    Why have you not sent them to their solicitors? It's the solicitors who are taking you to court (on behalf of MB) so it's the solicitors you need to deal with, surely?

    Send a copy by post (with proof of posting) and email a copy too. Just refer to it as an "administrative error"** and confirm the claimant had already been sent a copy.

    **Gladstones often send papers late claiming an "administrative error". The judge will decide if there has been any disadvantage to them which will be difficult to prove since the Claimant got their copy.

    Who are you addressing your question to?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    ok, so my case is on july 10 and my witness can no longer attend due to a hospital appointment she is not able to postpone, i will get a copy of the appointment letter as evidence. here is her statement............................................... my witness was present at the venue and saw what happened i.e. i was unable to reach the digital machine to enter my registration, she approached me in February 2017, and offered to be a witness..here is the statement,,,,,,,,,
    2)On the date the alleged offence occurred, Mrs X was also attending the Reel Cinema, Port Talbot.

    3) Mrs X witnessed the defendant Y struggling to reach the digital ticket machine to enter her vehicle registration number (VRN) for evidence of parking.


    4) Mrs X witnessed the defendant Y's need for assistance and recalls a staff member from the Reel Cinema entering the VRN into the digital system, which supports the defendant’s statement......

    ..... all statements have been submitted to the court, just waiting to attend in july. i will still attend .
    Do I need to contact the court to tell them my witness is now unavailable? do i have to inform the claimant (MS) as well? I want to be prepared, thanks
